Solicitor for Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Law in Rabat

I initiated arbitration proceedings against a business partner in Malta based on a clause in our shareholders’ agreement, but they are simply refusing to engage with the process at all, not appointing an arbitrator, not responding to correspondence, nothing. Does this mean the arbitration just collapses?

An arbitration process concluded recently in a commercial dispute I was involved in through the Malta Arbitration Centre, and the outcome was not what I expected. I feel the arbitrator misunderstood some key evidence. Can I actually challenge or appeal an arbitration award, or is it truly final?

I’ve heard the term ‘compilation of evidence’ mentioned in relation to a legal matter in Malta and I don’t fully understand what this actually involves or how it fits into the broader court process. Can you explain what happens at this stage?

I’m in the middle of a dispute with a business partner in Malta over jointly owned property, and I’m genuinely worried he’s about to sell or transfer an asset before the dispute is resolved, which would make it much harder for me to recover what I’m owed. Is there a way to urgently stop this from happening while the underlying case is still ongoing?

I signed a commercial contract with a supplier in Malta that includes a clause saying any dispute must go to arbitration rather than court. Now that we have an actual dispute over a delayed delivery, I’d rather just sue them in the ordinary courts, which feels more familiar to me. Can I ignore the arbitration clause and go straight to court instead?

I’m considering filing a civil claim in Malta over a contractual dispute involving a reasonably significant amount of money, but before committing to litigation, I want a realistic sense of how long court proceedings actually tend to take here, since I’ve heard mixed things.

Someone posted what I believe are clearly false and damaging reviews about my business online, based in Malta, and it seems to be part of a deliberate campaign rather than a genuine customer complaint. This is affecting my business. What legal options do I actually have here?

I’m having a serious ongoing dispute with my landlord in Malta over repairs he refuses to carry out despite them being clearly his responsibility. Someone mentioned arbitration as an option and I’m wondering whether the Malta Arbitration Centre actually handles this type of residential dispute, or whether that’s not really what it’s for.
